Anyone have a full belly shot of a G3 Chevelle?

If not Any G3 would probably work for now. I am trying to design some aerodynamic mods for G3 cars. Belly pan, rear diffuser, side skirts front spoiler and so on. Should be a nascar kinda look when I am done and be a good fuel saving mod hopefully, maybe even add a little grip. I am still researching and learning about how all of this works. If anyone has any insight to on the subject of aerodynamics please share.

That's not really a common photo.  I work at a shop and the only way I could think to get  a shot like that would be to lift the car & lay on the ground to take the picture... I've never even considered doing that.  Plus w/o a wide lens I don't think you could get a full shot.

Look through some of the project threads and see if there is anything in there you could use. ratnfested had his car on a rotisserie and there are plenty of good frame shots as well.


The only one I have of my body

I had also considered underbody aerodynamic improvements at one point, I'm interested in what you might come up with.

I have a photo somewhere of the 74 wagon Holley built that is a complete underside shot of the car (looks like its made from different pics stitched together though). Ill have to look for it and post it because I cant find the build page for the car on Holleys site anymore....

The wheel base on a wagon is longer, but everything else is pretty much the same dimensions wise? Is that right? Oh an thanks that is perfect!

Hey. Why don't you just take my car and use it. I have a 1976 Laguna that I don't have time to work on right now. It is in pretty good shape and will have a LS7-6speed when complete.

No. It took me about 5 years to find it. LOL. I actually saw these cars race in person back in the mid 70's in NASCAR.
